Eye blinking. Animation or object?

newmodels

I want to make the humanoid avaitor in my MMO blink it's eyes. I created an animation with the eye lids closed and open, but I think this is not going to work with Godot. If I play the animation it will stop the current animation. And this would not look correct. I thought about placing an object over the eyes that gets hidden and shown. How is such a thing supposed to be done in Godot. I tought about, maybe it would be possible to have the arms move and legs going in running action. Two seperate animation actions. But how could I get them to both play at same time. That is the problem with the blinking eye animation. I can't run two animations at once.

I was able to solve this problem by having two animation players. I duplicated the existing animationPlayer and used that for the eye blink by script. Now I believe I can duplicate the eye Animation Player and animated the eye blink by animation action, rather than by script. I now I see how Godot is able to do this. Maybe this is how other game engines do the same? Is it correct way?
